‘Something Is Brewing’ for Dogecoin (DOGE) as Network Activity Explodes

Meme coin momentum has far evaporated from the peaks of a couple of weeks ago, even though there are some that are still making waves. However, most turn out to be owned by a few wallets that later dump on unsuspecting investors. The situation with the leader of this niche is quite interesting. It continues to be a major cryptocurrency with a multi-billion-dollar market cap, but it has fallen out of investors’ grace as interest in it has diminished. Or has it? Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez, citing data from Glassnode, indicated earlier today that the network activity on Dogecoin has risen by almost 50,000 active addresses. The chart below demonstrates the rapid increase at the end of June and early July, going from under 40,000 to the aforementioned number. Martinez noted that ‘something is brewing’ for DOGE just a day after he posted that the TD Sequential metric had flashed a major buy signal for the asset. The OG meme coin is up by 3% weekly, but it has slipped by 11% in the past month alongside most of the crypto market. However, the TD Sequential and the growing network activity could be the beginning of something more lasting. Dogecoin $DOGE network activity has exploded to nearly 50,000 active addresses! Something is brewing. https://t.co/yQZwPEPGGK pic.twitter.com/FCf1m8D3oV Fellow analyst Daan Crypto Trades also weighed in on DOGE’s price moves and admitted that “no one really cares about this coin right now.” However, he said he is still watching it closely, especially if it heads toward its long-term support area within the $0.05 range. He added that other crypto assets will perform better in this (or the next) cycle, but DOGE is “still one that tends to be reliable for a decent bounce once a bear market bottom is set.” Meanwhile, Celal Kucuker was a lot more bullish, indicating that DOGE has “one of the cleanest charts in crypto.” The analyst predicted that the meme coin could explode to $1.00, representing a new all-time high, since it couldn’t reach those levels during the Musk-led 2021 hype cycle.

World Cup Fever Fuels $5.6B Explosion in Prediction Markets

The FIFA World Cup’s round of 16 matches are set to kick off on July 4, and football, or soccer as it’s known in the United States, has become the biggest driver of activity on prediction platforms, diverting attention from the political and macroeconomic markets they were originally built around. This is according to data from research firm CryptoRank, which shows that the tournament has pushed prediction market volumes from just $65 million on June 1 to a monthly peak of $5.6 billion on June 22. Per CryptoRank’s data, throughout June, total trading volume across major prediction venues rose rapidly, from the aforementioned $65 million on June 1 to $340 million on June 8, just days before the World Cup started. A week later, on June 15, the volume had jumped to $2.2 billion, with 15 matches played, including the USA’s memorable 4-1 win over Paraguay in Los Angeles. By the time 42 games had been played on June 22, trading on the platforms had gone up even higher, with CryptoRank reporting that volume had hit a high of $5.6 billion before showing a slight reduction seven days later, when about $5.4 billion in trades was recorded on June 29. In a post on X on July 2, the firm said that Kalshi had accounted for much of that June activity, with its dashboard at the time of writing showing open interest, or the total value of active positions that have yet to be settled, standing at $1.84 billion. Of that amount, roughly $1.45 billion was on Kalshi while Polymarket held about $390 million. During the previous week, open interest remained relatively stable on Kalshi at around $1 billion, while on Polymarket, it peaked at $475 million on June 30, the day Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands were knocked out of the competition in dramatic style. BitMart pointed to similar trends on its own platform. With multiple research institutions projecting that the total global trading volume on prediction markets could reach $10 billion, the crypto exchange said that most of that traffic has so far been directed to centralized platforms like it, given their lower barriers to entry compared to on-chain prediction products that require private keys and gas fees as well as contract approvals that need several steps to complete. As such, the CEX reported that its monthly prediction market volumes skyrocketed 1,500% from May after the World Cup started. It also said active users increased 4.6 times, while completed orders went up nearly 9 times. Furthermore, according to the exchange, nearly 44% of newly registered users placed their first trade through its prediction markets, with football markets being the main attraction for the newcomers before some of them expanded into crypto price predictions. Polymarket’s more subdued performance in the World Cup month compared to Kalshi has come against a backdrop of criticism on several fronts. For instance, a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) investigation published in June alleged that the platform has been using staged winning bets

Important Ripple (XRP) Announcement for July 4: Details

As the world’s most powerful economy and the widely regarded leader of the free world celebrates its 250th Independence Day, various initiatives are emerging to contribute in some way, including one from Ripple. The company behind the popular XRP altcoin announced that it has joined a nonprofit helping unemployed veterans to get high-quality jobs after their military service. The organization, called Call of Duty Endowment, said it has already funded over 165,000 veterans, but explained that there’s still a high unemployment rate among the younger generation, which means that there’s “still more work to do.” It wants to find jobs for 200,000 veterans by 2030, and Ripple has joined the special initiative for the 250th birthday of the US, called Giving4th. The idea is to make Independence Day a national day of charitable giving. The company said it will match donations made to the Call of Duty Endowment of up to $10,000. People who want to participate can use cash, stock, or cryptocurrencies, including Ripple’s two native tokens, XRP and RLUSD. Ripple is joining #Giving4th — @America250‘s new movement to make Independence Day a national day of charitable giving. We’re matching donations to @CODE4Vets up to $10K. CODE funds the most effective organizations helping veterans get back to work, preparing them for the job… The Fourth of July is known as the United States’ Independence Day and serves as a federal holiday that commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

How Much New Money Does Bitcoin Need to Start a Fresh Bull Run? (It’s a Lot)

Bitcoin might still enter another major bull cycle, but the amount of money needed to fuel it has grown dramatically compared to previous bull markets, according to the CEO of CryptoQuant, Ki Young Ju. In a recent thread, he argued that the cryptocurrency’s capital efficiency has declined considerably as the asset has matured. In 2011, he said, roughly $2.7 billion in net capital inflows was enough to drive a rally of more than 55,000%. In the current cycle, however, around $697 billion in inflows produced a return of slightly less than 700%. The main takeaway is quite simple: Bitcoin is much larger now compared to before, and moving its price requires far more capital. Market cycles are interesting, and all of them, despite some similarities, are quite different. According to Ju, in 2011, only $5 million in net inflows was enough to double BTC’s price. In this cycle, that figure increased to roughly $101 billion. He believes that the next parabolic run would likely require trillions of dollars in net capital inflows. Of course, this doesn’t mean that upside is impossible; it just suggests that the asset may need a deeper institutional bid than in the previous cycle. The analyst also framed the issue in terms of Bitcoin’s realized capitalization. This is a metric that values each coin based on the price at which it last moved on-chain rather than simply mutliplying the current spot price by its circulating supply. Ju said that if Bitcoin can absorb upwards of $1 trillion in realized cap, another parabolic rally remains possible. In practical terms, though, this would require the cryptocurrency to move beyond a retail-led ETF trade and become an established macro allocation for funds, corporations, institutions, and possibly even sovereign entities. He noted that this shift is still early and hasn’t been invalidated yet. The comparison with gold remains central to Bitcoin’s long-term investment thesis. The current market cap of the precious metal, according to popular estimates, is $29 trillion, although keep in mind that this figure can vary depending on the assumed above-ground supply. By contrast, Bitcoin’s market cap is $1.25 trillion, at the time of this writing. This gap remains the reason some analysts still see significant room for Bitcoin to grow as institutional adoption expands. Of course, it also highlights the challenge – every new cycle will likely require considerably larger pools of capital than the last.

Fake Weakness? Could Ripple (XRP) Be Setting Up for a Violent Move?

XRP seems to be showing one of the more interesting derivatives setups amongst the large-cap altcoins at the moment. On the surface, the price is climbing slowly, while the open interest is falling. Normally, this would suggest that traders are stepping away from the market. But when this happens alongside a rising net position delta, it might be time to pay attention. The current uptrend from the past few days seems to be driven more by the closing of short positions rather than by aggressive new buying, according to an analyst. Put in simple terms, bearish traders seem to be exiting the market, and that short-covering pressure is helping push XRP’s price higher. This can definitely support a steady move upward, but it is far from being enough for a sustained rally. A true acceleration usually tends to happen when new buyers begin entering the market with conviction. This is why open interest matters a lot. A decreasing open interest suggests that leverage is being reduced – not added – which is typically a sign of waning conviction. The daily outlook also supports a cautious bullish bias. XRP closed bullish during yesterday’s trading session, but it still needs to hold it to avoid slipping back into weaker territory. This is why a move toward the resistance at $1.13 remains very important, while stronger momentum could help push it even higher. That said, the real trigger that traders should watch is the simultaneous increase in both open interest and net position delta. This would suggest that the market is shifting from a state where the increase is driven by closing short positions to one where longs are opening. If that shift happens, XRP’s price could accelerate even quicker. Intraday, the cryptocurrency remains relatively volatile and stuck in a range. If it manages to push above and hold $1.18, this could offer an opportunity for buyers to return with force. For now, the signal remains rather clear. The bears appear to be loosening their grip, but the bulls have not yet stepped in convincingly. The post Fake Weakness? Could Ripple (XRP) Be Setting Up for a Violent Move? appeared first on CryptoPotato.

Bitcoin Holds Above $62K as HYPE, ADA Lead Altcoin Recovery: Weekend Watch

The cryptocurrency market managed to sustain its recovery over the past 24 hours. Most of the large-cap altcoins are trading in the green. Bitcoin maintained its recent rebound, as some alts delivered even stronger daily gains. The total crypto market cap also rose as traders returned to risk assets following a volatile start to the month. However, BTC’s dominance remains steady, suggesting that the market recovery is unfolding in a balanced manner. Bitcoin’s price traded mostly in the green throughout the past 24 hours, staying above the $62K mark after reclaiming it earlier in the week. The asset changed hands at roughly $62,500, up about 1.3% on the day and 3.6% on the week. BTC moved within a relatively tight daily range, briefly dipping toward $61,500 before buyers pushed it back above, even charting an intraday high around $62,800. The move kept its capitalization around $1.25 trillion. ETF flows also showed signs of stabilizing. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded around $220 million in net inflows on July 2nd. Interestingly, most of it came in Fidelity’s products, as BlackRock clients continued to sell and offloaded over $40 million. The broader cryptocurrency market improved as well, with the total capitalization surpassing $2.2 trillion. Ethereum traded around $1,754 after gaining more than 2% on the day and roughly 11% over the past week, making it a standout performer. Among the larger altcoins, Hyperliquid’s HYPE was one of those that increased the most over the past 24 hours, rising above $71 and gaining upwards of 6%. Cardano also advanced sharply, while XRP, Stellar, Dogecoin, Solana, and others posted more moderate gains. The market’s next test is whether Bitcoin can rise above the current area between $62K and $63K, while altcoin momentum continues into the weekend.

Why is Cardano (ADA) Up 15% in a Week?

Last month, Cardano’s ADA collapsed below $0.14, the lowest level since the end of 2020. Meanwhile, its market capitalization briefly plummeted to roughly $5 billion, leaving the asset temporarily out of crypto’s top 20 club. The bulls, though, managed to halt the free fall and even stage an impressive comeback. Here’s what happened and the possible catalysts behind the resurgence. As of press time, the token is worth almost $0.17, representing a 17% increase over the past 7 days. Perhaps the most evident reason pushing ADA higher is the broader market rebound following de-escalation news out of the Middle East. Bitcoin (BTC) soared to $62,000, while Ethereum (ETH) surged past $1,700 amid reports that Iran and the USA are set to hold the next round of direct talks in the third week of July after the funeral of the supreme leader Ali Khamenei. Another catalyst could be the excitement surrounding a Cardano upgrade scheduled to go live on July 6. Namely, this is the RealFi Phase 1 Testnet, described as “the first public step toward next-generation stablecoin infrastructure” on the project. “Crypto’s clearest success story has scaled as money. But not as capital. Hundreds of billions of dollars sit idle in stablecoins: No utility. No impact on the real economy. We think that’s a problem worth solving – and the Testnet is where we start. During Phase 1, participants can explore the platform, use its core features, and share feedback that will directly shape the protocol. This is collaborative infrastructure-building in public, and we want you involved,” the announcement reads. Speaking about the upcoming effort was Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, who called it “the largest upgrade” in the project’s history. Numerous analysts noted ADA’s revival, arguing it has more fuel left to post further gains. X user Sssebi claimed the token “is on fire” and envisioned a short-term pump to $0.20, while Nehal predicted a jump to $0.23, provided the price holds above $0.16. ADA’s recovery shouldn’t be seen as a guaranteed start of a new bull run, as the crypto market remains quite unstable and vulnerable to another severe pullback. The asset’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) reinforces the bearish outlook. The technical analysis tool, which ranges from 0 to 100, has risen above 70, indicating that ADA is in overbought territory and due for a possible correction. Conversely, ratios below 30 are considered buying opportunities. The post Why is Cardano (ADA) Up 15% in a Week? appeared first on CryptoPotato.

Bitcoin Recovery Hinges on Breakout Above $72K Resistance (BTC Price Analysis)

Bitcoin is attempting to build a short-term recovery after weeks of sustained selling pressure. Although buyers have defended a key support zone, the broader trend remains fragile as price continues to trade beneath major technical resistance levels that must be cleared first to expect a genuine recovery. The daily chart continues to reflect a bearish market structure, with BTC trading around $62.1K. The price remains well below both the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which are now acting as dynamic resistance around the $71K to $75K region. As long as BTC remains beneath these averages, sellers are likely to maintain control. Following the sharp breakdown below the 100-day moving average near $72K earlier this month, the market found demand within the $60K support zone. This area has once again prevented a deeper decline and is currently fueling a modest rebound. The RSI has also formed a bullish divergence, with higher lows while price recorded lower lows, indicating that bearish momentum is fading and a short-term recovery is possible. However, the broader trend remains bearish. Even if buyers extend the current bounce, the first major obstacle lies between $72K and $75K, where previous support has turned into resistance alongside both moving averages. A successful recovery above this region would improve the medium-term outlook, while rejection could expose the $60k support once again. Losing that area would likely open the door toward the next major demand zone around $55K. The 4-hour timeframe presents a more constructive picture. Bitcoin has been trading inside a broad falling wedge following the sharp June sell-off, a pattern that often precedes bullish reversals when confirmed by a breakout. Price has recently rebounded from the wedge’s lower boundary and the $60K support zone. At the same time, the RSI has produced another bullish divergence, reinforcing the idea that selling pressure is gradually weakening. The next important hurdle lies near the wedge’s descending upper trendline, which currently aligns with the $62K level. A breakout above this resistance could trigger a stronger recovery toward the $66K to $68K supply zone. Beyond that, the much larger resistance area between $72K and $74K remains the key barrier to any meaningful trend reversal. Failure to break the wedge would keep the broader bearish structure intact and increase the probability of a drop below the $60K support. The Long-Term Holder SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) continues to trend below the critical 1.0 threshold, indicating that long-term holders are, on average, realizing losses when spending their coins. Historically, sustained readings below 1.0 reflect periods of market stress, where even experienced investors begin distributing coins at a loss rather than taking profits. The 30-day EMA of the metric has continued to weaken and now sits below the neutral level, suggesting this behavior has become persistent rather than temporary. This points to subd

June 2026 Market Recap: Bitcoin Hits 2-Year Low as ETFs Bleed $8.9B

Bitcoin (BTC) closed June near its weakest level in almost two years after falling to around $58,000 on June 30, while spot Bitcoin ETFs extended a weeks-long run of heavy outflows. The month, according to a Santiment market report, was less about one single crash and more about capital quietly leaving crypto for AI stocks while whales sat on their hands. Per Santiment’s July 2 report, June saw a growing divide between retail traders and large investors, with wallets holding less than 0.01 BTC increasing their holdings in the final two weeks of the month, while those with between 10 and 10,000 BTC reduced their exposure. This, in the firm’s opinion, suggested that large investors remain unconvinced that the market has found a bottom. Another source of pressure came from ETFs. Since May 6, the last time there were consecutive days of inflows, spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded about $8.9 billion in net outflows. In June alone $4.51 billion went out of the funds, marking their worst month since launch, and Santiment argued that such heavy selling, pushing cumulative withdrawals ever closer to the psychologically significant $10 billion mark, can also reflect capitulation, with weaker hands leaving the market after a long decline. The analytics platform also pointed to Strategy and its preferred stock as adding another layer of uncertainty after they fell well below par in June, hitting the $70s at one point and raising concerns about the company’s financial model, especially given the weakening state of BTC at the same time. However, executive chairman Michael Saylor responded by introducing a Digital Credit Capital Framework designed to improve liquidity and support the company’s preferred stock obligations. He also defended Strategy’s recent sale of 32 BTC, saying that the world’s biggest corporate holder of Bitcoin had bought about 175,000 BTC this year and that he had not sold any of his personal stash. The Santiment report had one theme recurring throughout: that money that might previously have flowed into crypto has instead moved into AI and semiconductor stocks. The firm’s analysts described AI equities as one of the biggest competitors for investor attention during June, leaving BTC without the institutional demand it had enjoyed earlier in the cycle. That same point was made by HashKey researcher Tim Sun, who told CryptoPotato that capital was reallocating across risk assets rather than that investors were losing their appetite for risk altogether. According to him, there’s a chance that Bitcoin can pull that capital back if the AI trade gets overcrowded and corrects. The weakness described above was not universal, as Santiment highlighted that Hyperliquid was one of the strongest performers last month after its HYPE token climbed to new highs, supported by growing derivatives activity and new product launches. Another that attracted attention was Lighter’s LIT, which announced tokenomics changes including buybacks, token burns, and staking

Bitcoin ETF Recap: Another Tough Week Despite a Few Bright Spots

The last trading day of the previous business week finally brought some more net inflows rather than consistent outflows for the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. The products tracking the world’s largest altcoin had even more to celebrate at the end of the week, but still closed in the red. There’s no need to sugarcoat the end result – the week was still dominated by the bears. Investors pulling out funds from the spot Bitcoin ETFs withdrew $526.64 million throughout the four-day trading week. This means that the overall negative streak continues as the products have not seen a single green week in almost two months. Within this timeframe, the total cumulative flows have dumped from $59.34 billion to $51.08 billion. July 1 saw the most daily withdrawals, with $294.62 million leaving the funds, according to SoSoValue data. Another $222.64 million went out on June 30 and $231.10 million on June 29. That’s all on the negative side. The bright side was July 2. After 10 consecutive days of only net inflows, the streak was broken as investors poured in $221.72 million. Moreover, this was the highest single-day inflow recorded since May 5. Friday was a non-trading day due to the July 4 holiday, meaning that the week ended on a more positive note. The daily performance of the financial vehicles tracking ETH was even more promising. The Ethereum ETFs saw more modest $30.04 million withdrawals on June 29 and $27.60 million on June 30. However, the tides turned during the next two business days. Investors poured in $14.89 million on Wednesday and $29.08 million on Thursday, marking a near-monthly high. Nevertheless, the week still ended in the red, with total net outflows of $13.67 million. As such, the negative streak of the Ethereum ETFs continues, with eight straight weeks in the red. The total cumulative flows are down from $12.09 billion in early May to $10.89 billion on Thursday. On the more positive side, though, it was a lot less harmful than the $273.34 million taken out during the previous business week.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Can ETH Break Its Downtrend and Target $2.2K?

Ethereum has extended its recovery over the past several sessions, breaking above its recent consolidation range and approaching a major confluence resistance area. The rally has improved short-term sentiment, but the market is now testing a zone that could determine whether this move develops into a broader trend reversal or remains a relief rally within the prevailing downtrend. Ethereum continues to recover from the $1.46K-$1.53K demand zone, where buyers once again stepped in after defending the June lows. The rebound has now carried price toward the descending trendline that has capped every major rally since the May peak. The recent advance has also reclaimed the $1.70K area, placing ETH just below the next key resistance cluster around $1.82K-$1.86K. This region is particularly important because it aligns with the long-term descending trendline, creating a significant technical confluence. Momentum has improved considerably. The previously discussed bullish RSI divergence has continued to play out, with the indicator making higher highs while price has recovered sharply from support. This suggests bearish momentum has weakened substantially compared to previous sell-offs. Nevertheless, the broader trend cannot be considered bullish until Ethereum breaks above the descending trendline and reclaims the higher resistance band. A rejection from this area would preserve the sequence of lower highs that has defined the market for the past several months. The 4-hour chart shows that Ethereum has successfully broken above its short-term consolidation and reached the first resistance zone around $1.70K-$1.74K. Buyers have maintained strong momentum following the breakout from the lower range, allowing the price to approach the upper boundary of the descending structure. Price is now trading just beneath the falling trendline that has repeatedly rejected previous recovery attempts. A decisive breakout above this trendline would represent the first meaningful structural improvement since the broader decline began and could open the door for a move toward the $1.82K-$1.86K resistance area. As long as Ethereum remains above the recently reclaimed $1.70K region, buyers retain short-term control. However, failure to overcome the descending trendline could trigger another rejection, sending price back toward lower support levels and extending the broader corrective structure. The one-month liquidation heatmap highlights a significant concentration of leveraged positions above the current market price, particularly within the $2K-$2.2K region. These overhead liquidity clusters could act as a magnet for price in the coming sessions. If Ethereum successfully clears the descending trendline and continues its recovery, the market may accelerate toward this area as short liquidations fuel additional upside momentum. However, the reaction after such a liquidity sweep may prove even more important than the rally itself. Once the $2K-$2.2K liquidity has been absor

Bitcoin (BTC) Flashes 3 Bullish Signals: $65K Incoming?

After several weeks of lackluster performance and a slide to its lowest level since 2024, Bitcoin (BTC) has finally staged a decisive comeback. The popular analyst Ali Martinez highlighted the resurgence and spotted three bullish factors that could push the price beyond $65,000 in the short term. The primary cryptocurrency recently surged past $62,500, fueled by geopolitical de-escalation in the Middle East and a long-awaited return of ETF inflows after several weeks dominated by outflows. The analyst noted that BTC’s 12-hour chart has flashed a cluster of bullish technical cues across several key metrics, suggesting additional upside may be on the horizon. He first pointed out the Tom DeMark Sequential indicator, which has printed a buy signal. Earlier this week, the analyst emphasized that this metric (when viewed on the monthly timeframe) triggered a synchronized bullish call across BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL. “Historically, when multiple assets lock in concurrent monthly buy signals, it indicates seller fatigue and a high probability of a long-term market bottom,” he explained. The second positive sign Martinez touched on is BTC’s Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has printed a bullish divergence against the underlying price action, while the third is the SuperTrend indicator, which signaled a trend shift. “If these combined indicators receive validation through sustained spot volume, the immediate target for BTC sits at $65,400 – aligning with the TD setup resistance trendline,” he concluded. Numerous market observers share Martinez’s bullish outlook, noting that the cryptocurrency has performed quite well in the current month. X user cyclop, for instance, noted that BTC has historically posted double-digit gains in July during bear markets. The recent whale behavior also reinforces the positive scenario. X user Max Crypto revealed the case of a big investor who opened a $66 million long on BTC that will be liquidated if the price dips to $59.395. Whales are known as experienced investors who rarely jump on the bandwagon, relying purely on their instincts, and their actions could infuse enthusiasm among smaller players, prompting them to allocate fresh capital to the ecosystem. Of course, one must tread carefully and keep in mind that the crypto market remains shaky, meaning a renewed pullback in the short term is just as plausible.

Major Binance Announcement Concerning Many Users: Details

The world’s largest crypto exchange has run into serious trouble with EU financial regulators, and the uncertainty has triggered concern among its user base. Despite its issues in Europe, however, Binance has strengthened its global presence after officially entering the Philippines. Several hours ago, Binance’s co-founder and chief customer service officer, Yee He, revealed the news on her personal X account. She cited a document stating that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted final approval to Blockshoals Technologies Inc. to begin testing its financial products and services within the watchdog’s regulatory sandbox. Under the crypto-asset intermediary model, the Blockshoals Stratbox will give Filipino users access to a range of offerings provided through its global CASP partner Binance. The development was also highlighted by Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who shared He’s post and said: “Real liquidity for Philippines.” Some users described the expansion into the Asian country as a solid win for crypto adoption, while others were less supportive, claiming the news is only meant to shift attention away from the company’s problems in the European Union. The exchange recently decided to withdraw its MiCA license application from the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) in Greece, leaving it without the necessary approval to operate in the EU after July 1. Binance assured its local users that their assets are safe and asserted that Europe remains an important region for its operations, adding that it hopes to obtain the permit in the coming months. Meanwhile, some clients have revealed on X that they have received withdrawal instructions from the company, while others appear unaffected for the moment. Adding to its regulatory challenges in Europe, a group of 1,700 UK investors has filed a collective lawsuit in London’s High Court targeting Binance and CZ. The claimants argue that the exchange offered unregulated products and led to severe financial losses. The lawsuit also accuses Binance of failing to provide adequate protection for its clients.

Open USD Membership Claims Challenged After Samsung, Others Dispute Participation

Several major South Korean companies have said they have not formally joined the newly announced Open USD (OUSD) consortium, despite being listed among its participating organizations. Open Standard, the independent entity behind the stablecoin, previously said it had assembled over 140 businesses to launch OUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, later this year. The lineup featured some of the world’s largest companies across multiple industries, such as Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Google, Ripple, and Standard Chartered, among the high-profile names. The list of South Korean participants included Samsung Electronics, Dunamu, Shinhan Financial Group, KakaoBank, K Bank, Hyundai Card, KB Kookmin Card, BC Card, Hana Card, Samsung Card, Woori Card, NH Nonghyup Card, and Hanwha. However, several of those companies have now disputed the nature of their involvement. According to a report by Chosun Biz, a Samsung Electronics representative told the publication that there had been no official discussions with the OUSD issuer and that the company did not know what role it would play in the consortium. Meanwhile, Shinhan Financial Group, Dunamu, and K Bank similarly said Open Standard had only asked whether they were interested in participating in OUSD and that they had simply responded that they would review the proposal. Their names were reportedly later included in the consortium list despite no formal commitment. One company representative also said the firm only discovered it had been identified as an alliance member after reading domestic media reports. The representative added that the company had merely indicated it would consider participation if circumstances aligned and was puzzled to find itself listed as a member. The report was later echoed by the founder of digital asset firm Pointsville, Gabor Gurbacs, who said he spoke with several companies listed in the OUSD consortium, and they told him they had never signed or agreed to participate. He added that either the media had significantly distorted the situation or the published participant list was misleading. The claims also prompted debate across X. One user described listing companies before deals are finalized as a “classic legitimacy-borrowing” move, while another said the situation represents a major credibility risk.

Bitcoin Recovers Toward $62K as ETF Inflows Return and Trump’s BTC Holdings Make Waves: Weekly Crypto Update

Although July has only just begun, the past seven days brought some much-needed and long-awaited relief to the cryptocurrency market, even if the overall sentiment remains nothing but fragile. Last week at this time, Bitcoin was still struggling around the $60,000 mark after the painful correction that was charted in June. The cryptocurrency spent the weekend moving mostly sideways, as neither bulls nor bears managed to take control. The real action only started at the beginning of the business week. BTC attempted to recover, but was quickly rejected near $60,700, which allowed the sellers to push it lower. The pressure intensified on Tuesday, when Bitcoin, alongside the majority of the broader market, including the S&P500, the Nasdaq, as well as major tech stocks, took a beating. BTC dumped below $59,000 and slipped toward $58K on some exchanges, marking its intraweek low. However, that support held firm. The cryptocurrency bounced back and quickly reclaimed $60,000. Later, it pushed toward $62,000 as buyers returned and spot Bitcoin ETFs finally saw renewed inflows after a brutal streak of outflows. Altcoins were also able to follow, and some of them even marked sharper increases. ETH recovered strongly and moved back toward $1700, while SOL was among the best performers with a double-digit weekly jump. XRP, DOGE, ADA, XLM, and HYPE also joined the rebound, helping the total crypto market cap recover some of its recent losses. The week was also packed with some major headlines. Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure showed that he holds more than $50 million in Bitcoin, reigniting strong debates. FBI Director Kash Patel also amended a disclosure that was associated with Strategy’s stock, while Securitize made its NYSE debut and launched tokenized shares on Solana and Avalanche. Overall, the bulls were finally able to stop the bleeding. However, this doesn’t mean that the worst is over. BTC still needs a decisive breakout above pivotal levels around $70K to prove that this was more than just a slight dead cat bounce. Market Cap: $2.22T | 24H Vol: $66B | BTC Dominance: 56% BTC: $62,000(+2.7%) | ETH: $1,731 (+9.6%) | XRP: $1.12 (+7.2%) Tokenized Stocks Emerge as Altcoin Lifeline Amid Crypto Market Reset. A new report argued that tokenized stocks are becoming one of crypto’s few bright spots, as persistent token unlocks and weak altcoin narratives continue to wear speculative assets down. The analyst also outlined that Solana is currently dominating tokenized equity trading alongside Hyperliquid’s HIP-3. Why Bitwise’s Matt Hougan Thinks Strategy’s Bitcoin Era Is Fading. The CEO of Bitwise, Matt Hougan, said that Strategy’s role as one of the largest corporate buyers of Bitcoin is likely going to fade, especially as the next cycle could be led by institutions such as banks, asset managers, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds.

Here’s what happened in crypto today

Need to know what happened in crypto today? Here is the latest news on daily trends and events impacting Bitcoin price, blockchain, DeFi, Web3 and crypto regulation. Today in crypto, Vitalik Buterin lists three of Ethereum’s top focus areas under a new roadmap, Revolut notified some users that it plans to delist Tether USDt, a major US law enforcement group said it no longer opposes the CLARITY Act, and US President Donald Trump defended earning $1.4 billion from crypto ventures while in office. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has named quantum resistance, scalability and privacy as three of Ethereum's top priorities under a new "Lean Ethereum" strawmap, which lays out the network's technical direction for the remainder of the decade. In a post to X on Saturday, Buterin said the collection of upgrades will roll out over the next three to four years, touching nearly every layer of Ethereum in a transformation he compared in scale to the September 2022 Merge, which shifted the network away from energy-intensive mining. “Quantum safety has shifted up a LOT in priority,” he said, adding that finalizing a quantum-safe solution for blobs has “become urgent.” Enhancing privacy is another priority, Buterin said, stating that it has become a “first class goal.” The “Lean Ethereum” strawmap timeline from 2026 through to 2029. Source: Strawmap.org The change in roadmap comes amid a series of changes at the Ethereum Foundation, which laid off roughly 20% of its staff last month in a bid to become leaner and reduce its budget by 40%. The leaner structure comes on top of several executive departures in recent months, including Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz Stańczak, while protocol contributors Tim Beiko and Barnabé Monnot also left in May. Buterin is also pushing for the development of a new virtual machine like leanISA or RISC-V to support programmable privacy and better scalability. Crypto exchange Kraken has begun accepting select tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as collateral for futures and margin trading, allowing eligible users to open leveraged positions without selling their holdings. The feature initially supports 10 tokenized stocks and ETFs, including Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Strategy, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF and Invesco QQQ Trust. Eligible users can post those holdings as collateral without selling them first. Each eligible asset is assigned a collateral haircut that reduces its lending value based on risk. Broad-market ETFs receive the lowest haircut at 10%, while more volatile stocks such as Strategy and Robinhood are discounted by 30%. Kraken also imposed collateral limits on each asset, with broad-market ETFs capped at up to $1 million in collateral value, most individual stocks at $250,000 and tokenized gold and Circle shares at $100,000. The exchange said both collateral limits and haircuts will be reviewed periodically and remain subject to change. The feature is available only to eligible clients outside the United States. The e

Moonbeam to pivot from Polkadot to Base, unveils AI agent framework

Moonbeam didn’t provide a timeline for when it would launch the AI agent platform but told GLMR holders to bridge their tokens from the Polkadot parachain to Base before July 31. Polkadot-based interoperability protocol Moonbeam said it is pivoting to Ethereum layer 2 Base to launch an AI agent communication and settlement network, aimed at capturing a share of the emerging market. “This is a pivot to the most exciting frontier in crypto: autonomous AI agents that find each other, negotiate work, and pay each other entirely on-chain, without a middleman,” Moonbeam said in a statement announcing the Moonbeam Protocol on Friday. “We believe AI-native on-chain coordination represents a significant long-term opportunity. This transition allows us to focus resources around that direction,” Moonbeam added. Moonbeam didn’t provide a launch timeline for the Moonbeam Protocol. Agentic development has seen considerable adoption in the crypto industry, with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire among the executives predicting that AI agents will become the dominant users of blockchain-based payments in the coming years. Coinbase’s x402 payments protocol has been one of the biggest drivers behind that push, while layer 1 blockchains Aptos and Near have also rolled out infrastructure to support agent-driven onchain activity. Adoption in blockchain-based payments space has struggled to take off, however, with data from Artemis showing that only $2 million in trading volume has been facilitated through the x402 protocol over the past 30 days. AI agent development is progressing slowly in Big Tech too, with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stating on Thursday that the technology hasn’t accelerated the firm’s workflows as quickly as expected. Several members of the crypto community said Moonbeam's pivot marked a major setback for the Polkadot ecosystem, with one X user calling Moonbeam Polkadot's "flagship project." “That’s a real pain in the ass for Polkadot,” another X user said. Moonbeam launched as a Polkadot parachain in January 2022, providing developers the ability to build Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible applications directly in the Polkadot ecosystem. Moonbeam (GLMR) holders will need to bridge their tokens from Moonbeam’s Polkadot parachain to Base before July 31, 2026, including GLMR tied in lending markets, staking contracts and other decentralized finance protocols, Moonbeam said.

Moonbeam said it will continue providing its cross-chain interoperability services on the Polkadot parachain through the transition period and is not abandoning its existing builders or infrastructure providers.

Kraken lets traders use tokenized stocks as collateral for leveraged trades

The exchange said tokenized stocks can be used as collateral for futures trading in the European Economic Area, while margin collateral support is available in other eligible jurisdictions outside the bloc. Related: STS Digital launches structured crypto platform with Kraken as first partner The launch comes about a week after Kraken partnered with Maple to launch an onchain warehouse financing facility for institutional crypto lending, allowing the exchange to expand its lending business through blockchain-based structured credit. Kraken's move adds to a series of efforts aimed at expanding the role of tokenized real-world assets in financial markets. Recent launches have focused on using blockchain-based securities as collateral, settlement assets and components of institutional lending infrastructure. In February, Franklin Templeton and Binance launched a program allowing institutions to use tokenized money market fund shares as trading collateral while the underlying assets remained in regulated off-exchange custody. BlackRock's tokenized US Treasury fund, BUIDL, is also accepted as trading collateral on Binance, as well as Crypto.com and Deribit. Earlier this week, Tradeweb executed what it said was the first real-time purchase and sale of a tokenized US Treasury settled against tokenized cash on the Canton Network. According to RWA.xyz, tokenized real-world assets have grown to roughly $32.6 billion in distributed value, while tokenized stocks have climbed to about $2 billion from roughly $381 million a year earlier.
